That chlorine and look-alikes are acceptable for Canada and the U.S. is a point well taken, while there have been no other inexpensive alternatives. But for the developing world chlorine is not viable. This is because, 1) In point-of-use treatment dosing is a problem, that either too much or not enough is used, and 2) In large scale treatment, this is not sustainable: too expensive and not monitored and evaluated for the long periods necessary. We need to talk about applications not only in the industrial world, but also in the developing world.
